Kisses was just at PetSmart this past weekend for National Adoption Day. I wasn't sure how she would do with so many people. But to my surprise she did real well. In fact, I previously reported she should go to a home with children over 10 years old but I'm lifting that restriction. After seeing her at Petsmart with all ages of kids I saw how much she loves them. She never attempted to jump on them, in fact, she doesn't jump on anyone. Kisses does make it known if she doesn't like another dog. Like that handsome boxer sitting next to us that everyone else loved. I think she was just jealous because he was getting all the attention. However, with stern NO she was fine. I do think she is a bossy female {and they usually are}, who needs to go to a home with another laid back dog who will let her be in charge. She does well with my two males, one Boxer, one Frenchie. My Boxer is laid back and lets her have her way. My little Frenchie lets her know he's in charge and she respects that too. So she's adaptable as long as the human let's her know their in charge. Kisses loves to be active. So if there is someone in your family who would take her for a run or long walk that would make her happy. She needs a special person or family to include her in their daily plans. I assure you she will pay you back with loyalty, as she has with me. Besides, she's cute too! Kisses is a easy keeper. She thrives on activity and lots of love. She is also very affectionate and quite smart. She understands basic commands, sit, stay, and go get the toy, or the word back when she gets in front of me at the door. I can tell her to get in the crate now with no problem when I leave. She has free run when I'm here and likes to sneak in bed with me after I fall asleep. She doesn't realize I know she's sneaking. Please give this well behaved adult girl a loving home.

Update -Kisses is more relaxed these days...you know the laid back feeling that only comes when the kids finally move out! Yes, our foster Rosie has found her 4-ever home, and we have watched Kisses go from a mom mode to " Let's party".

She is a high energy dog and loves to run around with my male boxer. In the house she crouches down and darts and weaves. Kisses is a dominant girl and always gets the toy. My male is easy going so he doesn't mind. She needs some work on going for walks because she is so excited and wants to be ahead. We are working on it and I can see she restrains herself and is obedient. Kisses is very food motivated and will automatically sit and wave her paw. She will do anything for a snack, and wants to please. She seems very smart at figuring out what you expect of her.

She's a people dog and enjoys being next to me as much as possible. Kisses loves to be loved and will return your affection with gentle kisses and snuggling. During the day she sleeps with my other two dogs on their bed, but at night she likes to sleep in bed with me. She will go into a crate with some coaxing but would rather not. She doesn't want to miss anything, and would much rather follow me around all day. She is a good watch dog and let's me know when she hears any sound. She plays with my husband and son and initiates play with everyone that comes over.

Kisses has a great personality and is waiting for an active, loving family. Kids are great too, but with her high energy I suggest 10 yrs. and over. She's definitely not a couch potato so exercise is a must. Do you have room in your life and in your heart for this special girl?

10/11/08 -

Kisses and Rosie are mother and daughter. Both girls were surrendered to AABR when their owner lost their home.

They previously lived with a young child. Kisses, the mom, is a six year old white female. She is housebroken and knows her basic commands. Kisses is spayed and up to date on all vet care. She just went into a foster home with Rosie and they are both doing very well with the other two dogs in the home.

We will update her page once we know more about her. Thank you for your interest in Kisses!

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please first read our Adoption Procedure, by clicking on the link at the top of this page, then fill out an online application.

Boxers and Applicants are not matched on a first come, first served basis. Not all applications are approved. On average, it takes between a week and 1 month to adopt a Rescue Boxer to an approved applicant, depending on your personal circumstances and flexibility.  

Matching Boxers suitable for placement with younger children, other dogs, cats, and special needs, yours and theirs, increases the application review time and adoption time.  

And yes, we realize that the Boxer you may have your heart set on, may be adopted before you're approved.   Should your first choices all ready found their forever home, we want you to advise us as to other dogs you are interested in at Adoptions@AdoptABoxerRescue.com .  Or let us suggest a few that we feel will match your home.  That is what we are good at.   And be happy for the ones that have been placed... and know that there are way too many fantastic dogs waiting in their place.

Our non-profit organization is wholly comprised of hard-working volunteers whose only reward is seeing our wonderful Boxers placed in loving, permanent homes and given another chance for a happy life. Our process may seem slow, but if you are patient, we will try to provide you with a devoted, loving companion - a Boxer.

We hope you feel that the right Boxer is worth waiting for.
